Intricate Hoop Combos

An aerial hoop workshop for beginner and intermediate aerialists who want to build more detailed sequences, cleaner transitions and creative pathways. Expect flexibility-based shapes, unusual entries and exits, dynamic movement ideas and playful ways to link technique into flow.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Designed for beginner and intermediate aerialists with some existing hoop experience, this session will look at ways to connect shapes, entries, exits and pathways into more fluid combinations. Clara will guide participants through detailed movement ideas, helping them build confidence, control and a wider vocabulary on the hoop.

The workshop will also explore unusual shapes, flexibility-based moments and creative transitions, broken down into accessible steps so participants can adapt the material to their own style and continue developing it after the session.

Props: Aerial hoop provided, but if you have a "A Frame"/equipment of your own, you may bring it
Capacity: To be confirmed
Safety notes: Aerial activity with fall and impact risk; participants must follow instructor guidance and work within their own ability

SHOW: Living Ecosystem

Living Ecosystem is a nature-responsive aerial show created for the forest, the open air and the strange magic that happens when circus leaves the theatre and meets the elements.

Performed by Clara, Ina Todorova and Elke Bucher, the show explores connection, time, decay and renewal through aerial silks, hoop, fly pole, pole, hair hanging, movement and sound. Suspended between ground and sky, the performers create a living landscape of bodies, fabric, metal, breath and motion.

Aerial silks ripple and twist like roots, mycelium and unseen forest networks. Hoop brings cycles, orbit and repetition. Pole, fly pole and hair hanging explore tension, release, transformation and the relationship between human bodies and the natural world.

Using movement, playfulness, softness and spectacle, Living Ecosystem invites the audience into a world where gravity, wind, earth and air all become part of the performance. It is a show about change, interdependence and the beauty of things that grow, fall apart and begin again.

THE FIRE SPACE

Safety, sobriety and fire

Flow in the Forest is safety-led and community-focused. There is no bar on site, and anyone taking part in fire activities must be sober, inducted and following the fire safety rules. Alcohol in moderation is allowed, but intoxication that creates risk, disrupts others or affects fire safety will not be accepted.

Please read our Code of Conduct before coming

We've listened to your feedback and are happy to confirm that the Fire Space will be bigger, with more room to flow and with seating areas and a stronger social space for people to gather, watch, rest and connect.

Friday Metal Night is back

Our metal night returns to the Fire Space on Friday, and this year we’re making it even better. If you have metal tracks you love to flow to, or songs you’d love to hear in the Fire Space, please send your suggestions to: flowintheforest@gmail.com

Saturday Psytrance, Jungle and Drum & Bass

On Saturday, expect psychedelic sounds, jungle and drum and bass carrying the fire into the night, with space for both movement and community around the edges.

Sunday Psydub Flowdown

Sunday night will bring things into a softer, deeper landing with chilled, flowy psydub vibes in the Fire Space. Expect warm bass, spacious grooves and slower, more hypnotic sounds for people who want to move, stretch, spin, unwind or simply settle into the final night together. A gentler close to the weekend, with room to flow, breathe and soak it all in.
